Chapter 3 ++++++ Sara was getting dressed in a blue floor length gown. Her hair was up, and her makeup was perfect.
Grissom walked in and looked at her.
"And I'm supposed to keep my hand off you all night?"
"Just for a little bit remember?"
He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, placing them at where her panty line would be. If she was wearing any. He lightly kissed her neck.
"Do you have my ring?" Sara asked, she had been wearing it after shift, and on a necklace under her shirt during shift, never parting with it after the day it was given to her.
"Yes."
"Okay, I'm leaving first, Bye," Sara turned and placed a tender kiss on his lips.
"Hmm, let me go first, you still have to put your heels on."
"Gotta point there. Bye," She leaned in for another kiss which he deepened before letting her go, breathless. She reached up and touched her swollen lips. That sight was too much for Grissom, and he leaned in for another kiss. Sara put her hand between them.
"Stop, now, or else we will never make it there, and I took a lot of time to get ready.
"But, you look so kissable," Grissom complained as she pushed him towards the door. ++++++++++++++++
The party was plenty boring enough, and Grissom found himself with the night shift as well as Jim, Sofia, Doc Robbins, and his wife.
They sat around the table, were they're were two seat's empty. Grissom kept looking at the door. He got up to get a drink from the bar. While he was there he glanced at the door and saw her enter. She looked even better than she had earlier, the dim light of the room complimenting her.
He started to move back to the table. Catherine had spotted Sara, and waved her over.
"You said you where going to bring a date, where is he?" Catherine questioned.
"He's here already."
"Where?"
"Over there," Sara pointed in Grissom's direction.
"Where, I don't see him!"
"He's right there," Sara smiled still pointing in that direction.
"Look, I don't know which guy you're pointing at! Go get him and bring him over here."
Catherine looked at Sara expectantly.
Sara went around the table and Grissom stood up, grabbing Sara by the waist and giving her a tongue twirling kiss.
Once they pulled away, Sara looked at him with a huge smile, "Catherine would like to meet you," She said loud enough so that the rest of the table could hear. All looked amazed, except for three. Sara took Grissom's hand and began to lead him towards Catherine, but was stopped halfway.
"Honey, I think you forgot something."
"Oh yeah," Sara stopped and turned towards Grissom, who pulled her ring out of his pocket and put it on her finger. She leaned in for another tender kiss.
Now everyone stared at the two in amazement.
Catherine's mouth was scraping the floor. Sara strode up to Catherine and looked at her.
"Catherine, I would like you to meet my date and fiance, Dr. Gil Grissom."
Grissom nodded his head at her, "Catherine."
That broke Catherine, "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" She walked up to Grissom and slapped him. "AFTER ALL THIS TIME IT WAS HER AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!"
She whipped around to Sara, "AND YOU, I TRY TO PLAY THE CARING FRIEND CARD AND IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG! YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!"
Catherine held her hand up. "I'm going to get a drink,you better be ready to tell me everything when I get back!" She stormed in the direction of the bar.
Grissom turned to the table, unfazed, "If you will excuse us, we have a little business to take care of."
He lead Sara off by his arm. Nearing Ecklie, Grissom called out to him, "Conrad."
He sneared as he saw Grissom with Sara latched onto his arm.
"Gilbert."
"I'd like you to meet my fiance, Sara Sidle. Now before you say anything, think carefully. Sara and I have been dating for over a year, and it appears that it did not effect the lab, also, do you remember the case with the under sherrif's god daughter. Well, I did call in a favor, and he talked to the sherrif, you said, if you would ask him, that you could do nothing to us."
Ecklie looked like he was about to burst,"We'll see about that," He sneered as he took off in the direction of the Sherrif.
"That did not look like pretty business," The two turned to see Brass. He smiled at them, "Congrats," He hugged Sara and Grissom.
Sara looked at Brass, "Jim, I would like to ask you something, if you wouldn't mind."
"Shoot."
"I was wondering if at our wedding, you could consider walking me down the isle?"
Brass put on the biggest smile she had ever seen, " Oh, wow, that mean's a lot, I'd be honored to," he hugged her again, tightly. Sara hugged back whispering 'thank you' into his ear. He let go and Sara cleared the tears from her eyes.
They all made their way back to the table, and began to eat and talk. Catherine being the most dominate in the questioning. Just as they finished eating, Grissom asked Sara to dance.
Accepting, he led her out to the dance floor.
Behind them, the group all payed Warrick and Doc Robbins. Warrick had won the pool for them getting together, and Doc Robbins had pin pointed the time of engagement.
"They really do look good together,"Greg observed as they all watched the couple spinning on the floor. Sara had thrown her head back laughing and Grissom was laughing with her, watching her. Everyone agreed. It was too bad that some people didn't and couldn't leave the happy couple alone.
